Planning a Trip to Tibet? Don’t Miss These Permit Requirements

Foreign tourists must be organised before travelling to Tibet. They must be organised by travel agencies and follow confirmed routes. Furthermore, a Tibet Visa Permit from the Tibet Tourism Bureau is required. The TTP must be presented while booking flights and boarding planes.



The other two are the Tibet Public Security Permit (PSB) and the Military Permit, which must be obtained if you intend to visit military-sensitive areas.

The military permit is issued by the Military Office in Lhasa. It is strictly required for travel to Ngari, Nyingchi, and Nagqu prefectures, which are classified as military sensitive areas.

Important information regarding Tibet permits: Apply for your travel permit at least 15 days before your entry date.

After you've confirmed your tour, you can arrange your airline/train tickets on your own or through your agency. You may not need a Tibet permit to purchase tickets, but you will need it to board the plane or train.

If you do not book any trip packages through the travel agency, they will be unable to assist you in obtaining the permission. Because the Tibet Visa Permit China itself is free, no travel agency can offer permission-only services.

If you want to travel into border areas, both Chinese and international visitors must obtain an Alien Travel Permit. When you and your tour guide review your itinerary, they will know whether you require an Alien's travel permit. Chinese citizens might apply for Alien status on the Chinese mainland at the Public Security Bureau, or they could receive it in Lhasa, like all of our foreign tourists.



How do I receive my Tibet permit?

You must have a Tibet permit to board a flight to Tibet, as well as a copy of your Tibet permit to board a train to Tibet. Our travel service will ensure that you have your Tibet permit before your vacation begins.

All Tibet Visa permits are granted in Lhasa, Tibet. So, if you're flying into Lhasa, we'll need to provide you with the original Tibet permit. In general, it takes less than three days for Tibet permits to arrive in any Chinese city.
